Pretty much the only ads that I see on that cesspit is aliexpress/temu dropshipping sellers such as *looks at notes*.... "vore shop"... that often get community notes such as this (which sometimes gets hilarious). Considering the audience there thinks such businesses are legit, well...

A promoted dropshipping account called VoreShop on Twitter claiming that they are selling "Highland cow dolls handmade by an old man in Scotland" which they were certainly not.
A Twitter community note on the promoted ad that says "Despite the name of the shop being 'Vore Shop', site doesn't offer goods or services that satisfy the Vore paraphilia. It is one of the many questionable dropship ads on Twitter" with a link to the account StoreScams that keeps track of such accounts.

It also credits the real creator the dropshipper took the design from, which was LakeDistrictBears on Etsy.

Can’t access this article but I’ve seen the basic info elsewhere. I still follow the news *about* twitter but at this point I class twitter with truth social, rumble, parler etc. and won’t look at it ever again. Deactivated my account on that unalive rotten turkey carcass.

It is no longer possible to make any worthwhile complaint about toxic posts or accounts. It's becoming a cesspit.

His behavior is very predictable if you realize his goal is to cause chaos and cover for autocrats and fascists.

There's nothing unpredictable about his behaviour.

Question: do X's advertisers get data telling them how many people block or mute them? Because surely I'm not the only one blocking advertisers over there. ?
